FANNY'T. DONALDSON, OF ORANFORD, NEW JERSEY.

WAIST- BELT.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 265,663, dated October 10, 1882.

Application filed June 10, 1882.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, FANNY T. DONALDSON, of Granford, in the county of Union and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ladies VVaist-Belts, of which the following is a specification.

The object of this invention is to furnish, in connection with waist-belts, one or more spool receptacles or boxes and a pincushion for the more convenient and handy carrying about of pins, needles, and spools while sewing.

The invention consists of the combination, with a waist-belt, of a pincushion and one or more spool receptacles or boxes, said receptacles being open at the top and closed at the bottom and provided with a fixed vertical center pin and a front slit for the thread.

In the accom panying drawings, Figure 1 represents a front view of a waist-belt arranged witha pincnshion and spool-boxes according to my invention. Fig. 2. is an inside or rear view of the same,with the back of spool-boxes broken away to show interior; and Fig. 3 is a horizontal section through the center of the same. Figs. 4, 5, and 6 representrespectively a front View, a rear or inside view, and a horizontal section of a modified construction shown as arranged in connection with a buckle; and Figs. 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11 represent details of a detachable pincushion and detachable spoolboXes. 7

Similar letters of referencein dicate like parts in all the figures.

Referring to the drawings, A represents a waist-belt, and B an attachment thereto, composed of a pincushion, a, and spool-boxes b b. The entire attachment B is suspended from (No model.)

the top of belt by the hooks 0, or riveted or otherwise fastened thereto. The spool-boxes b b are open at the top, and provided at the bottom and in the center of each box with a vertical pin, 01, that receives the spool, as shown in Figs. 2 and 5. The pin d serves to retain the spool in place, and facilitates the unwinding of the thread,which passes out at the central vertical slit, 6, in front of the spool-box, as shown in Figs. 1, 4, 7, and 11.

The pincushion a and spool'boxes b b may be secured to the belt attachment or clasp in any suitable manner, either by lugs stamped out or by rivets, or otherwise, or they may be formed out ofthe metal of the belt attachment itself.

If desired, the pincushicn and spool-boxes may be made finished separately and attached to waist-belts by books or in any other manner, as shown in Figs. 7 to ll.

Having thus described my invention, 1 claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1. The combination, with a waist-belt, of a detachable or fixed pincushion and one or more tially as set forth- 2. The combination, with a waist-belt, ofone or more spool receptacles or boxes connected ence of two subscribing witnesses.
